[QUOTE="Far North Hunter, post: 1754365, member: 110640"] Several years back I had the just released schirocco shot from a 300 ultra mag explode on a elk shoulder shot. In defense of the ammo the shot was only thirty yards. And I strongly suspect extreme velocity and shot placement caused the bullet to fail. Later during that hunt I filled my partners tag with a 350 yd shot. The bullet performance was excellent. The bullet that failed left a 8” crater on the hide with little penetration. We tracked the bull for a day and a half before again seeing it standing approximately 200 yds away. We got the animal and that is when we discovered the bullet issue. [/QUOTE]
